Lytrod Software Launches Designer™ 3.5

FAIRFIELD, Calif.,- Decmeber 15, 2003. - Lytrod Software, a worldwide leader in application development tools for variable information printing, introduces today its latest version 3.5 of the Designer Series - Proform Designer for production printing and DeskTop Designer for entry-production printing. The Designer tools enable PC users to easily and rapidly develop sophisticated applications for Xerox's VIPP™ technology, the most efficient and effective workflow for personalized document production. Until recently, skilled programmers were required to
access the power and profitability of the VIPP workflow. Users of Lytrod Software's Designer products create VIPP document applications in a familiar Windows graphical interface via point-and-click and drag-and-drop operations. An extensive business forms builder is integrated for creation or migration of electronic forms and resources for legacy and contemporary production print environments.

In close collaboration with Xerox engineers, marketing managers and mutual customers worldwide, Lytrod Software added over eighty new features to the Designer Series. Version 3.5 dramatically expands capabilities for workflow automation and legacy application migration, and addresses the needs of the graphic arts
community.


Key new features of Proform Designer include support for the latest release of VIPP software, expanded image support including EPS, PDF and CMYK TIFF images, DocuColor iGen3 large paper sizes, "Z-sort" for multi-up duplex imposition (frequently used to create postcards), PDF Interactive Features, VIPP Project Containers, enhanced job control, and data functions such as add, subtract, multiply, divide and more. Breakthrough capabilities include:

  • Software availability in five languages
  • Personalization of PDF "backgrounds"
  • Enterprise deployment of VIPP applications

Lytrod Software Designer 3.5 supports VIPP applications on the entire range of Xerox production printers -DocuPrint, DocuTech, DocuColor, including iGen3 - and all digital front ends for the DocuColor machines (DocuSP, Creo and EFI). In addition, Designer supports the mass production of personalized Adobe PDF documents on Xerox's VIPP Thin Printer product. A new feature in Designer enables users to easily automate email distribution of these personalized PDF documents. Version 3.5 begins shipping immediately. Customers on annual maintenance will receive upgrade CDs beginning January 4th, 2004.
